Why I Ditched Goodyear Duratracs for BFG KO3s (Honest Review)

Today on Smackey's Garage, we are finally swapping out my high-mileage Goodyear Duratracs for the all-new BFGoodrich T/A KO3s! I ran my Duratracs for about 60,000 miles (100k total on the truck), and while they looked great, the road noise eventually became unbearable. In this video, I walk you through why I made the switch, the technical differences in siping and sidewall armor, and—most importantly—how the KO3s handle the "Driveway Snow Test" compared to the old rubber. If you are on the fence between sticking with Goodyears or trying the new KO3 update (especially if you had issues with the KO2s in the rain), this real-world review is for you.
